With the necessity of increased processing capacity with less energy consumption; power aware multiprocessor system has gained more attention in the recent future. One of the additional challenges that is to be solved in a multi-processor system when compared to uni-processor system is job allocation. This paper presents a novel task dependent job allocation algorithm: Energy centricAllocation ...

Energy consumption data, in particular those involving public buildings, are impacted by many factors: the building structure, climate/environmental parameters, construction, system operating condition, and user behavior patterns. Traditional methods for data analysis are insufficient. This paper delves into the data mining technology to determine its application in the analysis of building ene...

This paper addresses power consumption in CMOS logic gates through an study considering the design and technology points-of-view. Through SPICE simulations, the relationship between charge/discharge and short-circuit components of dynamic power consumption are investigated both considering different logic gates and its evolution through technology scaling. Experimental results show that dynamic...

cloud computing has recently become popular technology. Much of the literature shows that energy consumption and resource utilization in clouds are highly coupled. To integrate and make good use of resources at various scales, cloud computing needs efficient methods to manage them .In this paper, a genetic algorithm was proposed to efficiently allocate tasks to virtual machines, which allocates...

Currently a new version of the distance education platform WeLearn [3] to be combined with an agent system ([1], also developed locally) for providing advanced services [2] is under development. In a previous stage of the project software was created to automatically derive keywords from documents, either from the different versions of metadata already contained (various Microsoft file formats,...

As our ability to store information increases, the mechanisms we employ to access that information become ever more important. In this paper, we present Archosum, a prototype of an organizational system that attempts to encapsulate the benefits of both hierarchical and keyword systems. By introducing abstract entities, Archosum provides a simple interface with which users can build and maintain...
